Video: James Morrison and Shlomo on BBC Radio 1′s Fun and Filth Cabaret

Last night I went down to the BBC Bubble at Edinburgh Festival to appear on Scott Mills’ Fun and Filth Cabaret. I performed a duet with singer songwriter James Morrison who swapped the words of his hit “You Give Me Something” with genuine tabloid headlines. Fun times.

Listen again to Shlomo on Loose Ends

You can listen again to Shlomo’s appearance on Loose Ends on BBC Radio 4 on Saturday October 11th, 6.15pm – 7pm. The show is hosted by Clive Anderson, and also features Glen Cambell and Bill Bailey.

Shlo talks about beatboxing in the Arctic, the Vocal Orchestra gig on Friday 17 October, and performs live in the studio with a few of the choir.


John Humphries was a no show!!

I think John Humprhies must have chickened out – when I got to the BBC studios he wasn’t there. Still did a great little interview with Evan Davis, myself and jestar* from the Vocal Orchestra… have a listen: Shlomo and jestar* on BBC Radio 4.

i seem to have done no end of press interviews for the show on Saturday – it’s nearly sold out so get in quick if you still want to come…

In the past few days I’ve been working with Gospel singers and a Brazillian choir for the commission I am doing with Brent Respect Festival, and been busy rehearsing the new line up of the Vocal Orchestra. We did a gig at the Guildhall School of Music last Friday to big up Sir George Martin who was a student there many years ago. We performed a medley of Beatles songs, some of which may make it into the setlist on Saturday! I meant to invite Sir George but totally forgot. Him and John Humphries – I missed the opportunity to get two legends beatboxing in one week !


BBC Radio 4 tomorrow

Tomorrow (Monday 11th May at about 8.45am) I’ll be going on the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 to talk about beatboxing and choirs. My sole aim of this exersize is to get Mr John Humphries to beatbox. Wish me luck. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/
